iran with a nuclear weapon is unacceptable to the united states, period. netanyahu is trying to put pressure on president obama to draw a red line, and it sounded unfortunately like an ultimatum on his part. if you don't draw a red line, israel will feel no moral inhibitions about attacking iran. that sounds like an ultimatum to me. it's a very dangerous thing to do. but romney is trying to make this a partisan issue because he needs the support of those evangelical voters. >> he doesn't even fully have the support of the defense establishment within israel for his saber rattling. i think because president obama has been so vigorous in his support of israel, i think there's a real desire to say, the only thing left on the table is he and benjamin netanyahu don't get along. >> how wide is the chasm between netanyahu and the people of israel? >> it's a complicated issue. specifically with regards to iran, it's not clear he has the support of his own intelligence advisers for this attack. he's kind of bringing things to the brink even without the defense esta
